Difference between Methods and Scripts?
by Hamish Lawson 14 Dec '00

14 Dec '00

I see that the latest version of the O'Reilly Zope book now talks about Python and Perl *Scripts*, but refers still to DTML and ZSQL *Methods*. Does this reflect some actual conceptual difference between a Script and a Method, or is it simply because of the burden of also renaming DTML, ZSQL, etc? I understand that it is recommended that logic be implemented using Python/Perl Scripts, while DTML Methods should now be reserved for presentation; but I wasn't sure if that could be the rationale for the Scripts/Methods division, since ZSQL Methods don't really fall into the presentation category. If the difference is explained in the book, please excuse my having missed it; if not, I'd welcome an explanation, and perhaps it would be worthwhile including it in the book too.

Couldn't one just use MyODBC and the ODBC DA? What disadvantages (besides latency from yet another API to go through) are there to this approach? Sean

Adding Users To Acl_users
by Mike Kelland 14 Dec '00

Is it possible to add users to acl users from a form other than that in the acl_users folder? I've tried replicating the form within a dtml-with acl_users tag with no luck so far, has anyone actually done this and made it work? Thanks! Mike Kelland mike(a)studiomatic.com

How to debug access denials?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 14 Dec '00

14 Dec '00

I have problem with Zope security model and I would like to know the best way to debug Zope when access is denied. I have two experimental sites: on one of them, anonymous users can go everywhere. On the other, the permissions *look* exactly the same but anonymous users can only see the home page and are denied access to subfolders (more precisely, Zope asks a password). I assume one DTML method, in the second site, is doing something forbidden (anonymous has "View" and "Access content information"). Is there a way to get an extended log, such as "anonymous user denied because index_html called standard_html_header which called getData and getData is a database connection and they don't have permission to use database connections"?

HTML formatting from a text field
by David Spencer 14 Dec '00

Ausum, I would suggest going to the website for Lotus Quickplace (www.quickplace.com or www.lotus.com) and signing up for a demo account. They've got a very simple word processor (bold, italics, a couple of fonts, etc.) integrated into their project sites that, I think, does what you're describing. I'm pretty sure everything is accomplished using Javascript. If you could port something like this over to zope and release it as a product, so that WYSIWYG documents can be created through the web and still incorporate standard headers and footers, I would be a very happy man. I dread trying to explain zwiki and structured text to clients. You might also want to look at standardbrains.editthispage.com. He's got an excellent, javascript-based approach to WYSIWYG editing, but you can't save it back to the site as far as I can tell. David
